    the dragons are in the overwatch league grand finals put this tweet in a time capsule, send it back to 2018, and maybe we can fix the timeline

  • mothyttv Rose H. (@mothyttv) reported

    @holobasilisk @PlayApex @Respawn Nope this was suppose to be the fix patch and it's more broken the before for me...I had a good cry about it this morning and went to kill my soul on more overwatch.

  • KaticMakenna what is even going on here... (@KaticMakenna) reported

    @OwDoopie sorry you're lonely, but overwatch is NOT a dating service, it's a game. look for love in the wrong places, and you will end up empty handed every time.

  • LatelyCS LatelyZA (@LatelyCS) reported

    This update is making we want to switch to the love child of CS and Overwatch. Pls volvo, fix before the infection takes me.

  • VinVeracity Vinnie Wilson's hopes and dreams are dead (@VinVeracity) reported

    Final Smash character getting revealed today. Who I'd like to see: Impa or Arle Who I think we are getting: An Overwatch character or Crash

  • DigitalKronks A Digital Copy of Kronks New Groove (@DigitalKronks) reported

    @jasonschreier Crazy to read these comments and see people concerned about the state of the game when personally I’d rather just see Blizzard crash and burn with all the **** they’ve been pulling. **** Overwatch 2, hope it either flops or gets cancelled so Blizzard can face its consequences

  • chaseruni Chaseruni (@chaseruni) reported

    But then I think about what would be totally awesome world-shaking bookends (Crash, Kingdom Hearts), and then selfish picks that'd make me really happy (another Mega Man or Sonic rep, anything from Resident Evil, Overwatch)...

  • NeroX320 Nelson🎮Life is Arise❎ (@NeroX320) reported

    @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica Oh believe me same here! I love crash bandicoot. I just thinking from all the hate I been seeing the past month or 2. I've even been blocked for still play games like overwatch and preordering Diablo 2 🙄

  • JakeHelios JakeHelios (@JakeHelios) reported

    Tomorrow's Overwatch League Stream is Cancelled. We have had a major Internet issue. I'm so deflated.

  • emarasuOW 🌸 Emma 🌸 (@emarasuOW) reported

    if i get 2000 followers by the end of the year i will break into blizzard hq and take over overwatch and fix the game 👍

  • DiamonInTheSoft DanIsThicc (@DiamonInTheSoft) reported

    @ReflashProd Double shield. A tank rebalance would fix so many issues. That's what Overwatch 2 claims to fix. Brigitte,immo and hack would be way more tolerable without shield stacking

  • appledite_ august (@appledite_) reported

    im sad :( trying to watch overwatch league but i have no one to talk to about it or be excited w cause of an issue last night

  • sicaberry111 sica🌙 (@sicaberry111) reported

    aaaaaaaaaa I just wish I would stop getting dropped from Overwatch servers so I could reliably play comp... if it's "well our internet is bad" then why is it only Overwatch that I have an issue with?? I don't have the same kind of issues with DBD or Apex or Pokemon ******* Unite

  • GeneralGuardian Kiryu Kazuma (@GeneralGuardian) reported

    Snipers are broken in Overwatch. hanzos arrows can curve and hit you ion a zero turn radius and widow can shoot through some walls ashe is just rediculous.

  • BoyRicy Rice (@BoyRicy) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ This all wouldn't be a problem if Overwatch players weren't dumb and followed the crowd. Some people hate 2CP because the crowd also hated it. So if that didn't happen, almost no backfill

  • King_Mamzy Mamadou Thiam (@King_Mamzy) reported

    @brayzur Fair enough 👍🏿 I just want rayman or crash, or even a new sonic or overwatch character

  • ToKal64 Tomeus Kalle (@ToKal64) reported

    Nah, Crash is too tamed. Asking for an Overwatch character is a bigger poor taste.

  • Red_Queen_Rebel ⚔️Rebellion⚔️ (@Red_Queen_Rebel) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Put the game in a complete maintenance mode like Overwatch and Destiny for one day. Fix everything you need to fix. For once, just listen to the actual community. This has been the worst event update ever since launch.

  • mossmozzy mozzy 🜨 (@mossmozzy) reported

    i’m cackling at how such a ****** older game such as overwatch manages to have less server connectivity issues than a newer polished game such as apex. sure, OW is dry as hell and sucks *** rn but at least i dont have to read “failed to connect” 200 times.

  • bluejosem José A. Hex Martinez 👨🏻‍💻🐧💀 (@bluejosem) reported

    @SwiftOnSecurity Why do I keep getting random 'rendering device lost' errors on Overwatch, even after running sfc, and running game file reapir in the Blizzard launcher?

  • baddreemurr Ariel 🏳️‍⚧️ (@baddreemurr) reported

    I should probably stream again at some point. It was a chill thing and people seemed to enjoy it. The trouble is that my popular games were Sekiro and Overwatch, so that's a no right there. I might enjoy doing some Doom Eternal, if people are up for that.

  • tweet_Oreoo Oreo (@tweet_Oreoo) reported

    @fr0stygirl @BlazinAzn7 @G2Dezignful I just stopped playing the game till they decide to finally fix it 💀 overwatch seems fun for now

  • Itz_Chop Daniel McIntyre (@Itz_Chop) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix Doomfist please! It is the only it is abused so much in mid level overwatch by smurf accounts it makes me want to quit the game. Used to be Widow, but that was corrected. Please help us.

  • OSpartan123 OfficialSpartan123 (@OSpartan123) reported

    Shoutout to the time I slid into an overwatch girl dms and said “I heard ur a support player could u heal my broken heart” and she went haha... still hurts

  • Zeez_g Zeez (@Zeez_g) reported

    @Tek_Nasty I play overwatch on my Xbox and it's crossplay and I have no issue keeping up with PC players or ps players so I don't get the fuss..still almost top500

  • GenosPapa PapaGenos (@GenosPapa) reported

    @ash_n_jokerr I just feel if overwatch was on the table they’d go for crash instead: Mario vs sonic vs crash is basically the essence of what smash bros is all about, so I don’t think they’d skip that opportunity for overwatch. Maybe AFTER crash got in at some point in the future

  • TwistdAddicted Isaiah Torres (@TwistdAddicted) reported

    @muselk I'm gonna be honest. I hate that Muselk is still playing fortnite. I would've gone back to him to watch again if he played literally anything else after TF2, but no. He went Overwatch, and then Fortnite. Two children's games back to back. ******' hell man, Fix yourself.

  • TheAbetus Abetus (@TheAbetus) reported

    @BlizzardCS You never learn... Diablo 3, Warcraft 3 Reforged, Overwatch... etc. Now again with D2 Resurected... Shame and ridiculous. The funny thing is that we will have this problem again with Diablo 4.
